N,N-Dimethylformamide Dimethyl Acetal, Sigma-Aldrich™
Description
N, N-Dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) plays an important role in organic synthesis due to its higher reactivity. As a methylating agent, DMF-DMA has been used in the synthesis of methyl esters from acids, methyl ethers, and thioethers from phenols and aromatic thiols. DMF-DMA has been used as a formulating agent to synthesize enamines from active methylenes and active methyl groups, and amidines from amines and amides or thioamide. It is also possible to produce heterocyclic compounds using DMF-DMA by cyclizing two functional groups.
